    Winter Challenge Anyone?

    I am thinking of indoor things I want to do since it's been cold out.

    I am aiming for these:

    1. Lose 10 more pounds. With Christmas cookies I've crept up 5 pounds, so this will get me below that with then just 5 pounds to go.
    2. Get my petition for term limits for the Board of Health before the City Council.
    3. Speak at public hearings against renewal of BOH membership for one member whose term expires the end of the year, should the Mayor submit her name for reappointment.
    4. Go through my files, culling out old items. Never did this last year, so there should be some things I can toss.
    5. Do another burning of old papers with personal information on them.
    6. Fully fund another year's Roth IRA.
    7. Fix the bathroom light if DS is not able to. I see yesterday he was working on it, but I don't know how complex the fix is and he still does not wish to communicate with me.
    8. Continue to go to open houses and libraries in other communities, exploring options should I be able to relocate in the future.
    9. Stay on budget every month but January, when I'll probably have both an oil delivery and real estate taxes.

    I will continue to amuse myself with seed-starting. I have recently become interested in rock garden plants so getting those going will be a new endeavor. Sedums, yuccas, cacti, ice plants, natives etc. Last year, I did a bunch of winter sowing (starting seeds outdoors in milk jugs) but it was largely unsuccessful so won't try that again. Also my usual end of year clear out the paperwork will also be on my to-do list. And my least favorite job - cleaning out the fridge and freezer.

    I cleaned out my email files, deleting all messages in sub folders no longer needed. As part of that I sent a few documents to the ICloud.

    I spent 2 hours clearing out emails. I have 4 accounts...one for writing groups, one for real mail, one for junk and one google that I had to make for a tablet. The writing took the longest time as I skip over things. All clear now!!!
